Toolmaking

Toolmakers craft the tools that are essential for New Zealand’s industrial processes.

Employers

We provide training plans, qualifications and support tailored to your specific business needs.

What do we offer?

Competenz works with industry experts to develop nationally recognised qualifications, mapping the skills needed and registering them with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).

Our team develop training plans to make it easy for you to grow your employee’s skills and productivity.

You will be assigned a Competenz account manager who will:

Visit your business and your apprentices regularly throughout the year

Structure training into manageable chunks of learning

Set deadlines with apprentices to complete assessments (in full consultation with employers)

Co-ordinate access to online learning and arrange block courses

Assist apprentices to successfully complete their training programme.

As an employer, you need to become familiar with your apprentice’s training programme and targets, and provide them with plenty of opportunities to develop and practise the required skills.

Industry connections

We partner with industry associations and members of your industry to help recruit and build talented employees. This includes promoting careers, identifying potential learners and encouraging work placements.

We also support industry events like conferences, competitions and graduations, and regularly celebrate your learners’ success.

Qualifications available

This qualification has been developed by leading New Zealand mechanical engineers to equip staff with the skills and knowledge to work productively and safely.

With technology and automation rapidly driving change in the engineering sector, this qualification is designed with the future in mind so your people can respond and adapt to change.

Most of the learning is practical work completed on-the-job. Apprentices are also required to complete eLearning via our online learning platform Canvas, and attend block courses for two to three weeks each year.
